What book do you recommend?

Post by itzik »

I want to know more about genetics and introduce more mutations
Which books do you recommend to buy?
First: http://sunbird1.co.za/?page_id=14
Other: http://www.mcw-indianringnecks.com.au/book-shop
What is the difference between them?
What books have more mutations updated and information on more mutations?
Books have information on all mutants separately? (Photos' heredity...)

Try this website, they have a variety of books available.

Colour mutations by Dr Terry Martin is a good all round book that is useful for beginners and experienced breeders alike.

Asiatic Parrots and their mutations by T. Bastiaan and G.J.J Bastiaan is a good beginners guide to breeding Ringnecks and other asiatic parrots.

I did not know that he has the book "Asiatic Parrots and their Mutations by T & GJJ Bastiaan" I would buy it, thanks.

Still want to know what you say about the book "Ringneck Colour Genetics by Deon Smith"?

This is a good book too, and I prefer it over the Bastiaan book because it covers more recent findings in mutations. And of course, it is also great that Dr Deon visits this site every so often and interact with the forum users here to share his experience and to ask for our opinions too.
